Annual Program
Some days we miss the Washington reports of the purge
of un-American activities by the Dies Committee. Then word
comes in from New Orleans, or some other place, relating
how Congressman Dies dropped into the town and started
cleaning it up. He apparently follows tlie same methods as
those travelers in Scotland hunting down the Abbeys. "No
Abbey shall escape us' is their slogan, and also their determination.
Ships That Sail in The Night
War, neutrality, embargoes, and restrictions, have spread
darkness over tlie face of the deep and American ships do
not know whether they are going to see the ports they made
in the days of peace.
Panama seems to be courted by some American shipping
companies that want to register their fleets in that country.
The neutrality act was supposed to close all loopholes by
which American ships could be transferred—but that appears to be a doubtful supposition. Ship owners are in a
plight and if there is a way out they want to find it. They
have been forbidden to carry on their trade and in consequence are facing great losses. The device of changing registry looks good to them.
To the surprise of the American public there is an apparent indication that tlie Administration at Washington is
willing to shut both eyes and turn the liners over to their
own fate if they want to take the responsibility of going to
sea, particularly if they don't carry United States crews and
passengers. It is said in Washington that if anything happens to these American ships that their owners will have
very little reason to ask their Government to get behind
them and help them out.
Border Lands
Along three thousand milles of the border one finds very
little differences in manners, customs, habits and characteristics of the people of the United States and Canada. The
people maintain friendly relations and trust one another. The
correspondent of this paper who has traversed a large section of the northern border records his agreement with the
above universal opinion of our countrymen and their Canadian cousins.
Swinging eastward later on he left the California line
behind and devoted considerable time and attention in obtaining the views and opinions of Texas editors and newsmen, and other sober-thinking persons, concerning the conditions along the border lands of the United States and Mexico. He included in his purely vacation-travel a visit across
the Rio Grande into Mexico, where he found a land as different, and a people as strange as those he had once seen
and met along the Mediterranean, and in European countries
that are now at war.
At El Paso, Texas, about three out of every four residents are of Mexican parentage. Nevertheless it is a progressive city in which its Mexican inhabitants evidence remarkable progress because they have long enjoyed the benefits
of our public schools, and became accustomedto the higher
standards of living that exist in Texas—a mere fraction of a
mile distant from the Mexican city of Juarez.
While Mexico has produced skilled artisans in the past
the common people have mjade little progress and unfortunately they seem oblivious to the fact that they are being
oppressed today the same as they have been for centuries.
Their American neighbors—and their Mexican brethren who
have migrated to the States have forged ahead, but illiteracy
and lack of intelligent government finds the masses of Mexico still living in the fog. What they call a free and liberal
government, in Mexico in the year 1939 is simply another
form of dictatorship which has never reached the point of
operating in a way that furnishes any promise of democracy,
or qualifications that entitles it to be classed as a good neighbor among the American Republics.
When a newspaperman encounters revolutionary changes
in a few miles of travel he instinctively seeks to find the answers to the perplexing conditions of life in which he finds
himself surrounded. But the Mexicans don't know what ails
them and their government; so it is in Texas that one finds
an intimate knowledge of the people—who they can see from
their own windows across the thin border land. Texas newsmen are inclined to give President Cardenas credit for having planned to improve the conditions among his people.
They will tell you that the Mexican President knows that he
has made serious mistakes, but that,the President says that
if he has gone too far and too fast, that it is all due to the
fact that he was trying to do too much because of the limited time allowed his adminstration under the new constitution of Mexico. But the mess of Mexico is smeared with a
dishonest record, and particularly by ill treatment of its
benefactors, the United States, and other American Republics of the Western Hemiisphere.
In short, Mexico is today the black sheep among the Good
Neighbors, which is the reason that the honest Republics of
Latin-America are insisting that Mexico shall abolish the different forms of thieves' markets that is has maintained
through the centuries and behind the new barricades of
which they are now holding hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of confiscated foreign property.
On Friday evening of this week
another annual fall festival series
will draw to a close with the presentation of the three-act drama
"Youth Carries The Torch" at 8
p. m. on the Community building
stage.
For three successive Friday evenings, residents of North Canton
and vicinity have had the opportunity to witness outstanding programs brought here by the educational committee of the Community building and several local business men.
These series of programs have
been booked through the Collins
Management services assuring outstanding personalities and programs. Attendance in the past has
been fairly good and as a result
the festival is looked forward to
each year.
This week's presentation was
written by the California playwright, Jonathan Lucas, and is acted out by a professional cast.
The drama shows how love and
international intrigue gamble on
the frontiers of science, with human happiness as the prize. David
Chandler's discovery of a death-
ray renders armaments obsolete,
but terrified at its power, he disappears to make a momentous decision. J
Love finds him. and his secret
in the nick of time. It's thrilling,
fast-moving action throughout and
very appropriately caps the climax
of the festival series.

the Di Crosta-Ferrari company
which presented "Musical Mo.

M
.{sgiving uay on me
this month really is not important.
What matters is that we sincerely appreciate
tlie many blessings whicli we as a nation and as individuals enjoy. It behooves us at this timje to take
inventory of these and properly thank our Creator.
He will listen whether we do so on the 23rd or 30th.
We should be thankful that while most of the
countries of Europe are either at war, or threatened
with it, or living in the shadow thereof, we are at
peace; that our young men are not being conscripted into armies to be fattened for slaughter on foreign battlefields; that two mighty oceans lessen the
fear of successful invasion of our shores; and that
when we hear the drone of an airplane overhead,
we do not have to duck for shelter nor don a gas
mask.
We should be thankful that we live in a country
in which all people still enjoy personal liberty, the
right of free speech, the right to worship as they
please and that we have a form of government
which enables us to change our leaders when we so
desire instead of being forced to accept a Hitler or a
Stalin to ride herd over us.
We should be grateful that we are emerging
from the depression which has held us in its grip
for many a long year; that industiy is beginning to
speed up, and that men are being taken off the relief rolls.
We should be thankful for those Founding Fathers who set up our system of government and doubly thankful because that system still flourishes in
in America.
As a matter of fact, our blessings are so manifold, no mjatter which day we have selected for legal
observance, we should give thanks on both the 23rd
and 30th.
Who Knows but that was what President Roosevelt really had in mind when he proclaimed the
change of date for Thanksgiving? Perhaps he realized that one short day of but 24 hours would not
suffice for a favored and grateful nation adequately
to voice its thanks to the Giver of all good things.
Better still, why not observe November 23rd to
30th as a THANKSGIVING WEEK?

New Rage Hits
North Canton
Boys and Girls Going For it
In a Big Way
Scene From Festival Finale
A scene from the play "Youth Carries The Torch" which will bring
to a close Friday evening the annual series of programs making up the
fall festival. The play is a three-act drama with a background of international intrigue.
The advent of "swing music"
and it's wild chase across the country has nothing on the present rage
that is sweeping into every i village, hamlet and city, North Canton not excluded.
No matter where you go, what
time of the day or evening, you
can see evidences of this latest
craze, call it that if you will, on all
sides. Yes, and it is not confined
to boys alone for you'll also find
girls who are just as proficient in
the use of the little device.
It's simplicity itself as far as
construction is concerned and it is
fun to watch some of the more
skilled operators put it through its
paces. It rolls along the floor,
they snap it over their shoulders,
in fact, there is little that can't be
done with it when in the hands of
a master.
The beginner finds that it isn't
as easy to operate as it looks but
with a little practice it isn't long
before he or she can handle the
contrivance with a cerain degree of
skill. Perhaps by this time you're
wondering what it is all about.
What is this device that has found
its way so deeply into the recreational side of the youngsters.
A little description might help.
It consists of two pieces of wood,
similar to a cross section through
a door knob, fastened together
with a dowel. To this dowel is attached a piece of string. Ah, the
light begins to shine through.
You're right the very first time,
it's a Yo-Yo!

Henry ('. Koons of Greensburg
Dies in Home Saturday Night
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Henry C. Koons,
75, retired Greensburg farmer by
the Rev. Harold Etling.
Mr. Koons, a life resident of
that vicinity died in the home Saturday night. Burial was made in
the Greensburg cemetery by Whit-
ticar parlors.
Surviving are one brother, William G. Koons of Akron and two
listers, Mrs. Allen Sweeten of
Cleveland and Mrs. Ella Killinger
of Akron.
A busy week-end is in store for
several young boys of the community if plans for the proposed weekend trip to Cook's forest are carried out.
So far 14 boys have indicated
their desire to make the trip. The
group will leave Friday morning
at nine a. m. and arrive at their
destination shortly after lunch.
The boys will "rough it" city
fashion for they will be comfortably installed in a huge cabin, set
back in the woods. The cabin has a
large front room with a big fireplace, two bed rooms, kitchen, and
built-in bath, giving it all the comforts of home.
They will be under the supervision of Jack Coughlin, boys' work
director, at the Community building. Coughlin made a trip up to
the forest on Saturday to complete arrangements with Head Ranger Alexander.
Mr. Alexander has promised the
boys several treats while they are
there, one being a coon hunt and
possibly show them the biggest
bear that has invaded the forest.
Alexander explained to Coughlin
that it is rather difficult to get a
good look at the animal but hopes
the boys will get to see it.
The ranger also revealed that
deer are beginning to close in near
the cabins due to the coming of
winter and that not over 200 yards
from the cabin in which the boys
will stay is a doe with two fawns.
Those boys who have signed up
for the trip are: Bob Bishop, Elden I
Surbey, Bob Owens, Phil Hoover,!
Paul Hoy, Wayne Surbey, Harold I
Duryee, Bob Edwards, Ronald Holt,
Wavne Baker, Richard Marquette,
John Holder, Dick Domer and Pat
Patterson.
Hummel Bags
Deer in Canada
Encounters Cold Weather on
Hunting Trip in Ontario
With visions of juicy venison
steaks floating before their eyes,
four men from this vicinity went
into the wilds of Ontario for a two
week's hunting trip and the local
member of the group, Dick Hummel, returned with a 125 Ib. deer
which is now reposing in the refrigerator of the Hummel store.
Otis Heckendorn and Ray Bevan |
of Massillon and Albert Lane of
Turkeyfoot lake were the other
members from here and the hunting party was filled out with three
other men from Ontario.
All of the hunters with the exception of one, got a deer. Hummel
reported they saw several but
had but very few good shots as
the majority they saw were on the
run and too far away. He estimated that hu fired three times before
he brought his deer down.
They had cold weather with tho
temperature dropping to about two
below zero last Monday morning
but that it warmed up later in the
day.
On the return trip by boat out
of the hunting area, they were
forced to break the ice ahead of
them. Had the temperature stayed much colder they might have
been forced to make the trek by
foot pulling their boat behind them
but as it turned out everythting
worked out in their favor.
Legionnaires of the 10th district of Ohio at their fall conference Sunday in Washington high
school auditorium, Massillon,
heard a report on the membership
drive now being conducted in conjunction with similar drives in all

chairman of the campaign in this
district, reported that 71.9 per cent
of the district's quota has .been
raised and that 25 of the 59 posts
already had reached their quotas.
He revealed that 3,452 memberships have been renewed and that
the district quota is 4,800.
It was further revealed that the
10th district is leading the other districts with a 76 per cent membership reporting 1,13G memberships
out of the 1,494 quota.
H. Milton Elliot, district commander presided. Round table discussion was held from 9:30 to 11
a. m. with a group conference from
11 to 12.
The men enjoyed a concert in the
afternoon by the Massillon Post

M
.{sgiving uay on me
this month really is not important.
What matters is that we sincerely appreciate
tlie many blessings whicli we as a nation and as individuals enjoy. It behooves us at this timje to take
inventory of these and properly thank our Creator.
He will listen whether we do so on the 23rd or 30th.
We should be thankful that while most of the
countries of Europe are either at war, or threatened
with it, or living in the shadow thereof, we are at
peace; that our young men are not being conscripted into armies to be fattened for slaughter on foreign battlefields; that two mighty oceans lessen the
fear of successful invasion of our shores; and that
when we hear the drone of an airplane overhead,
we do not have to duck for shelter nor don a gas
mask.
We should be thankful that we live in a country
in which all people still enjoy personal liberty, the
right of free speech, the right to worship as they
please and that we have a form of government
which enables us to change our leaders when we so
desire instead of being forced to accept a Hitler or a
Stalin to ride herd over us.
We should be grateful that we are emerging
from the depression which has held us in its grip
for many a long year; that industiy is beginning to
speed up, and that men are being taken off the relief rolls.
We should be thankful for those Founding Fathers who set up our system of government and doubly thankful because that system still flourishes in
in America.
As a matter of fact, our blessings are so manifold, no mjatter which day we have selected for legal
observance, we should give thanks on both the 23rd
and 30th.
Who Knows but that was what President Roosevelt really had in mind when he proclaimed the
change of date for Thanksgiving? Perhaps he realized that one short day of but 24 hours would not
suffice for a favored and grateful nation adequately
to voice its thanks to the Giver of all good things.
Better still, why not observe November 23rd to
30th as a THANKSGIVING WEEK?

New Rage Hits
North Canton
Boys and Girls Going For it
In a Big Way
Scene From Festival Finale
A scene from the play "Youth Carries The Torch" which will bring
to a close Friday evening the annual series of programs making up the
fall festival. The play is a three-act drama with a background of international intrigue.
The advent of "swing music"
and it's wild chase across the country has nothing on the present rage
that is sweeping into every i village, hamlet and city, North Canton not excluded.
No matter where you go, what
time of the day or evening, you
can see evidences of this latest
craze, call it that if you will, on all
sides. Yes, and it is not confined
to boys alone for you'll also find
girls who are just as proficient in
the use of the little device.
It's simplicity itself as far as
construction is concerned and it is
fun to watch some of the more
skilled operators put it through its
paces. It rolls along the floor,
they snap it over their shoulders,
in fact, there is little that can't be
done with it when in the hands of
a master.
The beginner finds that it isn't
as easy to operate as it looks but
with a little practice it isn't long
before he or she can handle the
contrivance with a cerain degree of
skill. Perhaps by this time you're
wondering what it is all about.
What is this device that has found
its way so deeply into the recreational side of the youngsters.
A little description might help.
It consists of two pieces of wood,
similar to a cross section through
a door knob, fastened together
with a dowel. To this dowel is attached a piece of string. Ah, the
light begins to shine through.
You're right the very first time,
it's a Yo-Yo!

Henry ('. Koons of Greensburg
Dies in Home Saturday Night
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Henry C. Koons,
75, retired Greensburg farmer by
the Rev. Harold Etling.
Mr. Koons, a life resident of
that vicinity died in the home Saturday night. Burial was made in
the Greensburg cemetery by Whit-
ticar parlors.
Surviving are one brother, William G. Koons of Akron and two
listers, Mrs. Allen Sweeten of
Cleveland and Mrs. Ella Killinger
of Akron.
A busy week-end is in store for
several young boys of the community if plans for the proposed weekend trip to Cook's forest are carried out.
So far 14 boys have indicated
their desire to make the trip. The
group will leave Friday morning
at nine a. m. and arrive at their
destination shortly after lunch.
The boys will "rough it" city
fashion for they will be comfortably installed in a huge cabin, set
back in the woods. The cabin has a
large front room with a big fireplace, two bed rooms, kitchen, and
built-in bath, giving it all the comforts of home.
They will be under the supervision of Jack Coughlin, boys' work
director, at the Community building. Coughlin made a trip up to
the forest on Saturday to complete arrangements with Head Ranger Alexander.
Mr. Alexander has promised the
boys several treats while they are
there, one being a coon hunt and
possibly show them the biggest
bear that has invaded the forest.
Alexander explained to Coughlin
that it is rather difficult to get a
good look at the animal but hopes
the boys will get to see it.
The ranger also revealed that
deer are beginning to close in near
the cabins due to the coming of
winter and that not over 200 yards
from the cabin in which the boys
will stay is a doe with two fawns.
Those boys who have signed up
for the trip are: Bob Bishop, Elden I
Surbey, Bob Owens, Phil Hoover,!
Paul Hoy, Wayne Surbey, Harold I
Duryee, Bob Edwards, Ronald Holt,
Wavne Baker, Richard Marquette,
John Holder, Dick Domer and Pat
Patterson.
Hummel Bags
Deer in Canada
Encounters Cold Weather on
Hunting Trip in Ontario
With visions of juicy venison
steaks floating before their eyes,
four men from this vicinity went
into the wilds of Ontario for a two
week's hunting trip and the local
member of the group, Dick Hummel, returned with a 125 Ib. deer
which is now reposing in the refrigerator of the Hummel store.
Otis Heckendorn and Ray Bevan |
of Massillon and Albert Lane of
Turkeyfoot lake were the other
members from here and the hunting party was filled out with three
other men from Ontario.
All of the hunters with the exception of one, got a deer. Hummel
reported they saw several but
had but very few good shots as
the majority they saw were on the
run and too far away. He estimated that hu fired three times before
he brought his deer down.
They had cold weather with tho
temperature dropping to about two
below zero last Monday morning
but that it warmed up later in the
day.
On the return trip by boat out
of the hunting area, they were
forced to break the ice ahead of
them. Had the temperature stayed much colder they might have
been forced to make the trek by
foot pulling their boat behind them
but as it turned out everythting
worked out in their favor.
Legionnaires of the 10th district of Ohio at their fall conference Sunday in Washington high
school auditorium, Massillon,

the district quota is 4,800.
It was further revealed that the
10th district is leading the other districts with a 76 per cent membership reporting 1,13G memberships
out of the 1,494 quota.
H. Milton Elliot, district commander presided. Round table discussion was held from 9:30 to 11
a. m. with a group conference from
11 to 12.
